This has been asked a few times... the answers will not please you. So, is this your first year? Have you seen 447? Highway 447 is a bad place for bikes. No shoulders, narrow, and semis hauling drywall, plus all those crazy burners. Plus you have to make arrangements for someone to haul a lot of your supplies out for you, no way you can pack enough water.

I'll search for the other threads discussing this, but seriously, it ain't a good idea.

Not sure if a rideable even exists but it'd be fun to take a mountain bike and come in on dirt roads. I wonder if there's anything following the train tracks.

I personally wouldn't ride on the paved road on my road bike. Not only do you have to worry about people coming up behind you and hitting you, alot of people pass like maniacs, so you could get hit head on by some idiot that dosen't see you.

What is your touring setup? Are you on an actual road bike, skinny 700c tires? Or on an actual touring bike? Are you using panniers, or a trailer, or both? What is you touring experience?

To others not super familiar with bike touring, every kind of road from the north pole to the south pole has been ridden with a full load. Not neccesarily a Burning Man load though. I totally agree the roads there aren't great, and are heavily traveled, but it can definitely be done if you have the right setup.

FWIW, to anyone touring there, I will gladly open a conversation with you about how I can help out or support in any way!!!!
